Location of the Fuse Boxes in the BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Fuse box

Let's see where the fuse box is located in a BMW E46 3 Series. Sit in the front passenger seat and open the glove compartment directly in front of you. On either side of the top of the compartment, there are two white plastic levers, one on each side, which you will rotate ninety degrees to release the panel where the fuses are located. To assist with checking and replacing, there is a card in the panel that shows the arrangement of the fuses. Once you have completed the necessary tasks, reposition the fuse panel and secure it with the white levers.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
